Elvis Presley Medley. It was such a crowd favourite that he began using Hound Dog as his closing number. Fontana stole his drum phrasing from Chick Greeney of the Bellboys. During the latter show he sang it to a basset hound named Sherlock while wearing a tuxedo. It was the first song on which the vocal talents of the Jordanaires were used.
Take 31 was selected by RCA for release. In England, Hound Dog peaked 2. Sales in alone exceeded six million copies. Now we cut to July 1, Steve was trying to "tame" the reckless rock and roll whirling dervish and he had poor Elvis appear on his show in a formal tuxedo and tails.
And so, in what Elvis would later call "the most embarrassing moment" of his career, he appeared, singing "Hound Dog" to a Bassett hound!!! No hip-wiggling, no gyrations, Elvis was directed to just stand there and sing the song to the bored-looking mutt named Sherlock.
Elvis dutifully did what he was told and the whole "Hound Dog" thing might have just ended like the memory of a bad toothache for a disillusioned Elvis. But every once in a while although not often enough , a terrible experience develops into something wonderful.
Yep, you guessed it, "Hound Dog" was on the agenda. It took the super-sensitive Elvis 31 takes to get just the right version of "Hound Dog" on acetate. But after 31 takes, he knew he had one that felt right. Elvis used his recollection of Freddie Bell and the Bellboys as the template for his "Hound Dog" version, This recording session was also the first in which Elvis acted as the session producer.
Interestingly, Elvis not only rock and rolled "Hound Dog" up, but he changed the original lyrics. Elvis added in the strange line "You ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine" to the Leiber-Stoller lyrics. This odd lyric, like a shake of salt in a perfect stew, morphed a raw diamond into a perfectly polished gem. It is believed this lyric switch was originally performed by Freddie Bell and his Bellboys, but Elvis also did some lyric-switching of his own.
In the "Big Mama" Thornton version, she sings, "Well they said you was high class, I can see through that. Elvis changed this lyric to "Well they said you was high class, but that was just a lie. In the weeks between laying frown the track and its release incredibly, as the B-side of "Don't Be Cruel" , hardly an interview went by without Elvis being asked when the song would come out.
Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker, joked with RCA executives that the song was going to be so big that the company would have to change its symbol from the "Victor Dog" to the "Hound Dog. When originally released, it was, ironically, kept out of the 1 spot by its own A-side.
But soon, "Hound Dog" itself became the 1 pop song, a rare first in recording history, both sides of a record topping the charts. On top of all these titles, "Hound Dog" was also voted the 1 most-played song on juke boxes on September 1, Elvis instantly added "Hound Dog" to his repertoire, and it immediately became the bring-down-the-house finale to all his live shows. He platted his final show at the Louisiana Hayride with "Hound Dog" in December and sang it every opportunity that came upon TV that year.
Elvis performed a high-energy version of "Hound Dog" in his legendary "Comeback Special" in Although in his later years, Elvis tended to give his early rock and roll classic songs short shrift in his concerts, he knew no Elvis concert would ever be complete without at least a perfunctory version of his most famous tune.
In his later years, Elvis was to christen one of his private planes The Hound Dog. More than any of Elvis' hit songs, the stirring opening notes of "Hound Dog" instantly conjure up the indelible image of the wild, uncontrolled singer with the sideburns and the jumping beans in his jeans. It almost seems a kind of tacit agreement amongst Elvis fans the world over that "Hound Dog" is the "theme song" -his trademark.
The song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in Customization and personalization available. Your email has been sent!
